Comment by FrankRobinson:
Hi Louis, welcome to the Critique Zone!

My initial impression is that this is very colourful, and that there is a lot going on. I am drawn from the almost 80's PC game look of the top left down to the hot white of the bottom right, with plenty of contrasts along the way. It is definitely interesting. Unsurprisingly I was thinking 'abstract' before I read your comments, so it works as you intended.

Technically: This is an excellent use of a fairly specialist lens, heading right out of the box. The DOF is superb, as I would expect for such a wide angle lens, and the focus looks pretty good, although it is difficult to tell with the slightly blocky colours. The lighting is interesting - it is almost too bright at the bottom, but not quite.

Artistically: This has a proper 70's psychedelic look to it. I could see it printed on aluminium and hung in a retro bar. If it were mine, I would be tempted to crop a little off the top, to force the focus more on the cool curves of the wire frame, but that is completely subjective. There are also a couple of artefacts which you should probably clone out before selling this (!) but obviously you couldn't in basic editing.

In summary, this shot would only work in negative, so that is the challenge theme completely fulfilled. It's fun, a little crazy and very out of the box - which means it will always split the voters. I like it, as long as you do too - it's all good!

you liked the negative image challenge a lot? but this one has a good composition. and i think the subject still meets the challenge. i have to give it a low score though for having unnatural colors.
